Conditions Treated with CRS+HIPEC

CRS+HIPEC has shown promising results in various cancers affecting the abdominal cavity. Here are some specific conditions that can be treated with this innovative approach:
HIPEC for Colorectal cancer
HIPEC for Colorectal cancer: HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is a treatment option for colorectal cancer. It involves delivering heated chemotherapy directly to the abdominal cavity during surgery. The first step of the surgery is to remove the tumour of colon or rectum.
HIPEC for gastric cancer
HIPEC for Gastric cancer: HIPEC is also used for gastric cancer, a type of cancer that affects the stomach. Part of the stomach is removed first i.e. partial gastrectomy or total gastrectomy, along with the lymph nodes. Some times a part of the pancreas is also removed. Then the HIPEC is performed. 
HIPEC for pancreatic cancer
HIPEC for Pancreatic cancer: HIPEC has been explored as a treatment option for pancreatic cancer, a challenging form of cancer with limited treatment options. At present, doing a peritonectomy & HIPEC should be considered investigational in pancreatic cancer.
HIPEC for Pseudomyxoma peritonei
HIPEC for Pseudomyxoma peritonei: HIPEC is commonly used for treating Pseudomyxoma peritonei, a rare cancer that originates in the appendix or ovary and spreads to the abdominal cavity. During the procedure, heated chemotherapy is delivered directly to the peritoneal cavity after surgical removal of the tumor. This approach helps to eliminate any residual cancer cells and prevent disease recurrence.

Outpatient assessment and follow-up take place at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital, Vasna, Ahmedabad.

  • How is a patient assessed before CRS and HIPEC surgery?

Assessment begins with a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, tumour markers, and a review of the previous histopathology. A diagnostic laparoscopy is often performed to measure the peritoneal cancer index, which records how widely the disease is spread and decides whether complete cytoreduction is achievable.

  • What is the difference between HIPEC and PIPAC?

HIPEC delivers heated chemotherapy into the abdomen immediately after the tumour has been surgically removed, within a single operation. PIPAC delivers chemotherapy as a pressurised aerosol during a short laparoscopy, without cytoreduction, and is used when disease is too extensive for complete surgical removal.

  • HIPEC सर्जरी क्या है और यह किसे दी जाती है?
